Justified in the Spirit

“It is a necessary and new perspective to see the justification of the sinner embraced by the life-giving Spirit. Frank Macchia’s book is a great step forward toward a full Trinitarian concept of salvation. . . . A rich book full of solutions to old theological problems.”
— Jürgen Moltmann
University of Tübingen

“Argues persuasively that Christian teaching about the Spirit (pneumatology) has much to offer to a correct understanding of justification. . . . We have here a book of singular consequence.”
— William G. Rusch
Yale Divinity School

“A noted systematician and ecumenist, Macchia gleans from his own Pentecostal tradition in his intriguing revisioning and reorientation of the major soteriological concept of justification by faith.”
— Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen
Fuller Theological Seminary
University of Helsinki

“With Macchia’s Justified in the Spirit Pentecostal systematic theology has come of age. . . . Catholics and Protestants will no longer be able to attribute a secondary role to the Spirit, while Pentecostals will discover the hidden treasures that their movement signifies.”
